2018 Aston Martin DB11 5.2L Petrol · ART 11Y

A persistent pattern of uneven tyre wear defines the recent mechanical history of this vehicle, with rear tyres consistently flagged for inner edge wear across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. This trend culminated in the most recent pass on 2026-05-26, where all four tyres were recorded as worn close to the legal limit, specifically noting inner edge wear on the rear and edge wear on the fronts. While the vehicle has a consistent record of passing since a non-mechanical failure in 2021, the recurrence of these tyre advisories over three consecutive years suggests an unresolved issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The recorded mileage of 36,988 miles over approximately eight years indicates a low annual usage rate of roughly 4,624 miles. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly. While low mileage generally reduces the overall wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it does not preclude the development of the chassis and alignment issues evidenced in the recent MOT advisories. Prospective buyers should focus specifically on the suspension and steering geometry given the repeated advisories regarding inner edge tyre wear. During a physical inspection, the tread depth should be measured across the full width of the tyre to confirm the extent of the camber wear. On a test drive, the vehicle should be monitored for any steering pull or instability at cruising speeds, and the steering wheel should be checked for centering. Attention should also be paid to the front tyre sidewalls, following the 2021 record of damage to the outer walls. While the 2021 failure was primarily due to non-conforming registration plates and a minor windscreen chip, the recurring tyre issues remain the primary mechanical concern. Listen for any abnormal road noise or vibrations that could indicate uneven tyre wear or failing suspension bushes that may be contributing to the misalignment.
